The latest release in too many years by this fantastic duo celebrates the wonderful music of the Carter Family. While Carter tunes have shown up on previous Ginny & Kay releases, this is the first project devoted solely to the songs and style of this legendary first family of country music. In his liner notes, John Lilly accurately describes the project: "Combine great singing, timeless material, mature musicianship, inspired arrangements, judicious engineering and mixing, and a soulful edge, and this is what you get. You get a heartfelt tribute to one of Americas great musical families, and a testament to the strength and importance of traditional music in a modern age. This recording will ring in our ears for many years to come." Adding Carter-esque touches throughout are several excellent supporting musicians: Tracy Schwarz on Maybelle Carter-style guitar, Mike Seeger on autoharp and old-time banjo (yes, the Carter Family was known to sport a banjo on a t! une or two every now and again), Mac Trayhnam on A. P. Carter-inspired bass vocals, and Amy Michels on one additional track with old-time banjo.
